Introduction High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are promising candidate alloys for applications requiring unique combinations of diverse properties which are more located at the middle of multi component phase diagrams instead of the corners [1].
The simultaneous actions of these two elements serves as a breeding ground to optimize the structure and relevant properties.
Repeatability and ease of estimating properties via simple proposed models helps raise the possibility of producing reliable predictable new alloys.
Elemental partitioning is an important factor affecting the bulk properties of an alloy.
Also, segregation of such low melting temperature phase can negatively affect mechanical performance of an alloy in high temperatures.

The lower boundary layer was affected more significantly than the upper boundary layer for APG but the effect was almost similar for FPG.
Pressure Drop and Friction factor The Figs. 3 and 4 show the variation of apparent pressure drop and apparent friction factor of DSM channels and SM channels as a function of Reynolds Number.
This was due to an increase in physical properties of nanofluids over DI water.
This increase in friction factor led to an increase in heat transfer rate in the turbulent regime.
· Pressure drop and friction factor of DSM channel was 17% to 23% lesser than SM channel

China, with complex geological environment and concentrate precipitation, which result into frequent mudslide, suffers a great threaten to its people's lives and property safety.
Resonant column test is complex, and the factors that affect accuracy is too much.
Measurement of soil moisture content The density of soil changes along with the change of the moisture content of soil, so the shear strength of soil is also affected by the moisture content of soil.

One can expect that formed fullerol-hydrogel complex exhibits a new property, because fullerol possesses its own characteristic [OH]- groups, while hydrogels based on cross-linked poly(acrylic acid) have majority of carboxyl groups.
The basic physicochemical properties of the SAP PAA sample are as follows: apparent density of 0.78 kg/m3 and equilibrium swelling degree (SDeq) in distilled water at 298 K of 10000%.
From temperature dependence of 1k applying Arrhenius equation, activation energy and preexponent factor of the investigated binding process were determined (Table 1, columns 5 and 6).

Simulation Research on Elastic Constant and Natural Frequency of NCD Coated AFM Probes Yan Jiang1,a, Xiangfeng Li1,b, Dunwen Zuo1,c and Jiajing Yuan1,d 1 College of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Nanjing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Nanjing, 210016 a Xiaodiandian-jy@126.com, bfxli@nuaa.edu.cn, cdzuo@jlonline.com, deragon_yuan@163.com Keywords: NCD, Simulation, AFM Probes, Elastic Constant, Natural Frequency Abstract.
Introduction Presently, the performance requirements of AFM probes mainly include [1-3] low elastic constant(10 -2～102N/m), high natural frequency(1～100KHz, for the contact-type AFM), high lateral stiffness and mechanical quality factor, mirror-smooth or electrode back of the cantilever, sharp-pointed tip and so on.
Due to the superiority properties of NCD(Nano-Crystalline Diamond) films, if we can deposit a layer of NCD film on the non-reflective surface of the probe, we will get a better wear resistance of the probe tip, at the same time guarantee a good surface quality.
Nonetheless, how the main mechanical parameters--elastic constant and natural frequency--are affected after depositing is not reported yet.

Variations in climatic conditions have been recognized by pavement engineers as a major factor affecting pavement long-term performance.

However, HPDC products possess low mechanical properties resulting from a substantial number of porosity during die-filling and the solidification in the die cavity.
Heat treatments, involving solid solution and aging treatments, are commonly regarded as the effective methods for improving the mechanical properties of Mg alloys.
Numerous studies focused on the effect of the solid solution treatment or ageing on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the die-cast AZ91[4-6].
The microstructure and mechanical properties of the AZ91 alloy are greatly dependent of the competitive behavior between precipitation of β- Mg17Al12 phase and recrystallization of α-Mg matrix.
All of the above changes in the factors facilitate the formation of recrystallization nuclei of α-Mg matrix.
